Just a short note about new years dinner. We had trout with almonds and mashed potato with cream [light cream]. I should have made a salad but I wasnt in the mood for cooking really so it was lucky I got that made and it was as nice. Nigella says she photos all her dishes and takes notes on them. Im going to get a note book and at least keep a few notes it makes deciding on
dinner easier. We had fresh figs and ice cream for dessert so I wasnt so miserable about not going out for new year. Its the only day of the year I expect the crowd of "couple" friends to appear and ask us to exciting events. Unfortunately no one ever does to my husbands great relief sociability quota minus ten. We drove daughter to work while the fireworks went off.
Resolutions the usual: get fit, cook a decent meal at night no stupid amounts of money on non eatable take away, budget better (thank you Susie Orman) write more finish a story and do better spelling and grammar, very lazy about corrections. Oh and stop beating myself up over my mother and wanting to cry.
We going to look at the big seas if they are still big and having coffee at the beach and take daughter to work again. I have 4 more months long service leave and should get some casual work but its nice to be off.
